A new business networking group has been started in Henfield, particularly aimed at self-employed and home workers.

The group, BizBN5, has attracted more than 20 members at its first two meetings at the White Hart in Henfield High Street.

Founder Jo Donne, of Tempting Savings, said: "Many people who work on their own or run small businesses can benefit from meeting others and exchanging views and work opportunities.

"The response has been great and I am delighted that we have the foundation for a networking group that will be useful for so many people running their own businesses in and around Henfield."

Guest speakers at the last meeting were graphic designer Helen Boosey (helenboosey.co.uk) whose work includes brochure, newsletter and magazine design, and Gillian Goodsman, who runs the Henfield lettings agency Goodsman Letting with properties across the area.

The next meeting is at the White Hart at 6pm on Monday September 14. Anyone welcome. Entry free. More details from Jo Donne on 07743 696649.
